< Judges 13 >

1 Bvt the children of Israel continued to commit wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord deliuerd them into the handes of the Philistims fourtie yeere.
Na ka mahi kino ano nga tamariki a Iharaira i te tirohanga a Ihowa, a ka hoatu ratou e Ihowa ki te ringa o nga Pirihitini, e wha tekau tau.
2 Then there was a man in Zorah of the familie of the Danites, named Manoah, whose wife was baren, and bare not.
Na ko tetahi tangata o Toraha no te hapu o nga Rani, tona ingoa ko Manoa, he pakoko hoki tana wahine, kahore ano i whanau tamariki.
3 And the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto the woman, and said vnto her, Beholde nowe, thou art baren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne.
Na ka puta te anahera a Ihowa ki te wahine, ka mea ki a ia, Na, he pakoko koe, kahore hoki i whanau tamariki: otiia ka hapu koe, a ka whanau he tama.
4 And nowe therefore beware that thou drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing.
Na kia tupato, kaua e inumia he waina, he wai whakahaurangi ranei; kaua ano e kainga tetahi mea poke.
5 For loe, thou shalt conceiue and beare a sonne, and no rasor shall come on his head: for the childe shall be a Nazarite vnto God from his birth: and he shall begin to saue Israel out of the handes of the Philistims.
No te mea ka hapu koe, a ka whanau he tama; na kaua he heu e pa ki tona matenga: hei Natari hoki tena tamaiti ki te Atua no te kopu mai ano: a mana e timata te whakaora i a Iharaira i roto i te ringa o nga Pirihitini.
6 Then the wife came, and tolde her husband, saying, A man of God came vnto me, and the facion of him was like the facion of the Angel of God exceeding feareful, but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name,
Na haere ana te wahine, korero ana ki tana tahu, ka mea, Ko te tangata ra a te Atua i puta mai nei ki ahau, tona ahua kei te ahua o te anahera a te Atua; nui rawa te wehi; heoi kihai ahau i ui no hea ia, kihai ano i korerotia mai e ia tona ingoa ki ahau.
7 But he saide vnto me, Beholde, thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne, and nowe thou shalt drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing: for the childe shalbe a Nazarite to God from his birth to the day of his death.
Otiia i ki mai ia ki ahau, Ka hapu koe, a ka whanau he tama; na kaua koe e inu i te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei, kaua ano hoki e kainga tetahi mea poke; he Natari hoki tena tamaiti ki te Atua no te kopu mai ano a mate noa.
8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and saide, I pray thee, my Lord, Let the man of God, whome thou sentest, come againe nowe vnto vs, and teach vs what we shall doe vnto the child when he is borne.
Na ka inoi a Manoa ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Tena ra, e toku Ariki, kia haere mai ano ki a maua te tangata a te Atua i tonoa mai na e koe, hei whakaatu i tetahi tikanga ki a maua mo te tamaiti ka whanau nei.
9 And God heard the voyce of Manoah, and the Angel of God came againe vnto the wife, as she sate in the fielde, but Manoah her husband was not with her.
A i rongo te Atua ki te reo o Manoa, a ka haere mai ano te anahera a te Atua ki te wahine i a ia e noho ana i te parae; ko Manoa ia, ko tana tahu, kahore i a ia.
10 And the wife made haste and ranne, and shewed her husband and sayde vnto him, Behold, the man hath appeared vnto me, that came vnto me to day.
Na hohoro tonu te wahine, oma ana, korero ana ki tana tahu, ka mea ki a ia, Nana, kua puta ki ahau te tangata i haere mai ra ki ahau i tera ra.
11 And Manoah arose and went after his wife, and came to the man, and saide vnto him, Art thou the man that spakest vnto the woman? and he said, Yea.
Na ka whakatika a Manoa, a aru ana i tana wahine, a ka tae ki taua tangata, ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe ranei te tangata i korero ra ki te wahine nei? Ka mea ia, Ae, ko ahau.
12 Then Manoah sayde, Nowe let thy saying come to passe: but howe shall we order the childe and doe vnto him?
Na ka mea a Manoa, Kia mana ra tau kupu. Tena koa nga tikanga mo te tamaiti, he aha he mahi mana?
13 And the Angell of the Lord saide vnto Manoah, The woman must beware of all that I said vnto her.
Ka mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a Manoa, Kia tupato te wahine i nga mea katoa i korero ai ahau ki a ia.
14 She may eate of nothing that commeth of the vinetree: she shall not drinke wine nor strong drinke, nor eate any vncleane thing: let her obserue all that I haue commanded her.
Kaua ia e kai i tetahi mea i puta mai i te waina; kaua ano e inumia e ia he waina, he wai whakahaurangi ranei, kaua ano hoki ia e kai i tetahi mea poke: kia mau ia ki nga mea katoa i kiia atu e ahau ki a ia.
15 Manoah then said vnto the Angell of the Lord, I pray thee, let vs reteine thee, vntill we haue made readie a kid for thee.
Na, ka mea a Manoa ki te anahera a Ihowa, Me pupuri maua i a koe, kia taka ai e maua he kuao koati mau.
16 And the Angel of the Lord said vnto Manoah, Though thou make me abide, I will not eate of thy bread, and if thou wilt make a burnt offring, offer it vnto the Lord: for Manoah knewe not that it was an Angel of the Lord.
Ka mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a Manoa, Ahakoa pupuri noa koe i ahau, e kore ahau e kai i tau taro: a ki te meatia e koe he tahunga tinana, me whakaeke ma Ihowa. Kihai hoki a Manoa i mohio he anahera ia na Ihowa.
17 Againe Manoah said vnto the Angell of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy saying is come to passe, we may honour thee?
Na ka mea a Manoa ki te anahera a Ihowa, Ko wai tou ingoa, kia whakahonore ai maua i a koe, ina mana au korero?
18 And the Angell of the Lord saide vnto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, which is secret?
Ka mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a ia, He aha toku ingoa i uia ai e koe; he mea whakamiharo nei hoki?
19 Then Manoah tooke a kid with a meate offering, and offered it vpon a stone vnto the Lord: and the Angell did wonderously, whiles Manoah and his wife looked on.
Heoi ka tikina e Manoa tetahi kuao koati, me tetahi whakahere totokore, a whakaekea ana e ia ki runga ki te kamaka ki a Ihowa: na he mea whakamiharo te mahi a taua anahera, me te titiro ano a Manoa raua ko tana wahine.
20 For when the flame came vp toward heauen from the altar, the Angel of the Lord ascended vp in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and his wife behelde it, and fell on their faces vnto the grounde.
I te putanga ake hoki o te mura i runga i te aata whaka te rangi, na kua kake atu te anahera a Ihowa i roto i te mura o te aata. A, i te kitenga o Manoa raua ko tana wahine, tapapa ana raua ki te whenua.
21 (So the Angel of the Lord did no more appeare vnto Manoah and his wife.) Then Manoah knewe that it was an Angel of the Lord.
Kihai ia i puta mai ano te anahera a Ihowa ki a Manoa raua ko tana wahine. Katahi a Manoa ka mohio he anahera ia na Ihowa.
22 And Manoah said vnto his wife, We shall surely dye, because we haue seene God.
Na ka mea a Manoa ki tana wahine, Ka mate rawa taua; kua kite hoki taua i te Atua.
23 But his wife saide vnto him, If the Lord woulde kill vs, he woulde not haue receiued a burnt offring, and a meate offring of our hands, neither would he haue shewed vs all these things, nor would now haue tolde vs any such.
Ano ra ko tana wahine ki a ia, Me i pai a Ihowa ki te whakamate i a taua, kihai i tangohia e ia te tahunga tinana me te whakahere totokore i o taua ringa, kihai ano hoki i whakakitea mai e ia enei mea katoa ki a taua, kihai hoki i korerotia mai inaianei ki a taua nga mea penei i enei.
24 And the wife bare a sonne, and called his name Samson: and the childe grewe, and the Lord blessed him.
Na ka whanau taua wahine, he tama, a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Hamahona: na ka tupu taua tamaiti, a ka manaakitia e Ihowa.
25 And the Spirite of the Lord beganne to strengthen him in the host of Dan, betweene Zorah, and Eshtaol.
Na ka timata te wairua o Ihowa te whakaohooho i a ia i te puni o Rana, i te takiwa o Toraha, o Ehetaoro.
